Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Stir in melted butter, salt, and beaten eggs. Gradually add all-purpose flour until dough pulls away from sides of the bowl.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough, roll out to a rectangle, spread melted butter, and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  6. Roll the dough into a log, cut into 1-inch slices, pinch center and pull edges to form heart shapes.
  7. Cover heart-shaped rolls and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Prepare glaze by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
